California 371 connects California 79 at Aguanga with California 74 in the San Bernardino National Forest near Anza. This was originally part of a much longer California 71, back when that route used to extend southeast via current Interstate 15 to Temecula and then turned east along California 79. California 371 provides a back route from the Inland Empire and San Diego County to the desert around Palm Springs and Indio.
